A Hollywood blockbuster-inspired video that transforms Spencer Pratt into a Batman-like superhero is being praised as the Los Angeles mayoral candidate gains momentum just weeks before the election.

The AI-generated clip shows Pratt being called on to save a dystopian LA from the Democratic establishment — with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass appearing as the Joker.

A cake-eating Gov. Gavin Newsom and a booze-swilling Kamala Harris are depicted joining other elites at a lavish Victorian-style ball, while socialist mayoral challenger Nithya Raman is portrayed as a wooden puppet on strings.

The group is shown mocking at everyday Angelenos pleading for help for elected leaders.

“Please, I’m begging you. There are homeless drug addicts in front of the schools. My children aren’t safe,” one character says in the clip after being forcefully thrown to the ground by agents dressed in bulletproof vests labeled for the Democratic Socialists of America — a group with whom Raman is affiliated.

At one point, Harris says: “Bass already solved crime, I already endorsed her,” referencing the former vice president’s recent support for the incumbent.

Pratt himself then swoops into action, outfitting himself in Batman-like gear before storming into the banquet as another character pleads for help.

“I just want to rebuild my home. It’s been over a year,” the man says, referencing the January 2025 wildfires that devastated the Pacific Palisades, destroying Pratt’s home.

Finally, Pratt is shown leading a charge of AI-generated Angelenos tossing tomatoes at Harris, Newsom and Bass.

The video was posted by Charles Curran, who describes himself as a filmmaker involved with Menace, a “private production entity pioneering synthetic images for select creative partners.”

“LA is worth saving. Vote Spencer Pratt,” he wrote in post on X, which Pratt re-shared to his account.

Praise for the ad has come from across the political spectrum.

Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida and brother of former President George W. Bush, described it as “the best political ad of the year” in a post on X.

“This isn’t an ad put out by his campaign*… which makes it even more amazing,” Jennifer Van Laar wrote on X.

The video has garnered over 3.5 million views on the platform.

The California Post has reached out to Pratt campaign, as well as the other politicians featured in the clip, for comment.

The mayoral primaries are set for June 2. If no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote, the top two will advance to the November general election.
